Dnipro Dormitory for Displaced People Hit in Russian Strike: 85 Windows Shattered.

Massive Missile and Drone Assault Strikes Dnipro

According to UATV: On February 3, 2023, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro came under a massive Russian missile and drone attack, which damaged residential buildings, including a dormitory housing people displaced by the war. The strike directly hit a facility sheltering individuals forced to flee their homes due to fighting in frontline areas. The force of the bombardment was evident from the 85 windows blown out of the building.

The assault lasted from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM, targeting not only dormitories but also private homes and critical civilian infrastructure. The attack was part of a wider offensive that struck several Ukrainian regions, causing significant destruction in:

• Vinnytsia
• Dnipropetrovsk
• Kyiv
• Sumy

Lydia, a local resident: 'The explosions came one after another. It was terrifying, of course. It's indescribable—even the bed was shaking.'

This incident is part of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which has now lasted for over a year. Such frequent attacks on civilian sites and infrastructure highlight the severity of the situation and the humanitarian crisis facing local populations. For displaced persons who have sought refuge in dormitories, these strikes represent a renewed and acute vulnerability, forcing them once again into the direct line of fire. The war has created a vast internal displacement crisis within Ukraine, making shelters like this one critical—and tragically frequent—targets.
